We also provide Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) about wastewater management and clean water supply services that are regulated and supervised by the Directorate of General Affairs at IPB University.
IPB University applies the following: disposing of waste in a concrete septic tank; using grease traps in the canteen for water management; and managing toxic and hazardous laboratory waste through collaboration with a third party (Prasadha Pamunah Limbah Industri – PPLI). IPB University has a clean water treatment unit with natural water sources from rivers around campus with very high turbidity levels. In 2022, IPB revitalized a 1,6-hectare lake and built a 3,8-hectare artificial lake. Moreover, IPB University provides water system pollution solutions by building used water treatment installations (IPAL).

In 2023, IPB University will hold training on Design and Optimization of Waste Water Treatment Plants (IPAL).
IPB University provides free drinking water facilities through drinking water fountains available in almost every faculty building. This drinking water is freely available for all lecturers, students, and visitors by placing fountain facilities in some facilities. Drinking water fountains are also available in other facilities often used by students, namely the Common Class Room Building and Al Huriah Mosque. IPB designs a program called The Waqaf for Water Station, a charity program. Since 2021, this program has been implemented and has raised Waqaf donations from the campus population for the installation of more water stations. More information about our water station:

Landscape and infrastructure are two main essential aspects that play a significant role at IPB University in achieving environmental, social, behavioral, or aesthetic outcomes. Since 2019, the rector has mandated that all new construction and major renovations on campus achieve a green ship certification. The leader’s commitment creates policies concerning the arrangement, utilization, and control of land and buildings.
Green building standards guide IPB University in continuing to discover the role that construction, design, and operations play in our sustainable campus future. Four things are priorities of IPB University: The existing building does not meet the green building concept standard; designing a new building with a green building concept, revitalizing drainage, and normalizing the campus ring road inspection. IPB University is also committed to applying building standards to minimize water use, such as automatic water traps.
Several buildings were assessed for their suitability with the green building concept. The assessment results for the land use category met 11 points out of 16 points (68.75%), the water conservation category met 5 points out of 20 points (25%), and the building environmental management category met 4 points out of 13 points (30.77%).
<<Study of Green Building Concept and Assessmentment at IPB University>>
In order to minimize water use, IPB University plants various green plants that do not need watering in the rainy season and only need occasional watering in the dry season. In addition, many varieties of rare plants can be found at IPB University. Green plants (trees) have been planted on most of the IPB campus to beautify the campus landscape. Trees are planted along roads, parks, conservation gardens, and forest arboretums. The trees do not require watering during the dry season, so they are drought-tolerant plants. Meanwhile, the IPB conservation garden was dominated by Samanea saman species. The IPB conservation garden applies a polyculture cropping pattern.

Water reuse
IPB University has a water reuse policy to maximize water reuse, as regulated in IPB Rector’s Decree No. 133/IT3/LK/2020 concerning IPB’s commitment to SDGs achievement. IPB University also committed to using water optimally based on efficiency and conservation principles as stated in Circular Letter No. 2474/IT3/HM/M/B/2021.
The IPB Senate’s academic text mandates water reuse for the park’s maintenance. Biodiversity Park and Inspiration Lake is a water conservation program implemented by IPB University within the campus area. The directorate of general affairs measures and monitors water reuse at IPB University. Water use in IPB is sourced from 3 main components, namely the water treatment process, lakes, and regional drinking water companies. Around 90% of water use in IPB is sourced from water recycling and water treatment (IPB Annual Report 2022).

The directorate of general affairs measures and monitors water reuse at IPB University. Water use in IPB is sourced from three main components, namely the water treatment process, lakes, and local water companies. Most water use in IPB is sourced from water recycling through water treatment and artificial lakes.
IPB University uses two rivers as the main water source to meet the campus’s water needs. The rivers are the Cihideung and Ciapus rivers. The Dramaga IPB campus has nine Water Treatment Plants (WTP), namely three Ciapus WTPs, which were built in 1972, and six Cihideung WTPs, which were built in 1986. Until now, IPB has continued to carry out analysis and evaluation in order to adjust to standard quality standards and optimize the use of these installations.

IPB conducted community services through training on making biopores to increase water catchment areas in Malasari Village, Bogor, West Java.
The IPB conducted community services through training on making bio-pores to increase water catchment areas in Cilendek Timur Village, Bogor, West Java. The Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) Agrometeorology Student Association (Himagreto) Capacity Building Program (PPKO), together with the residents and youth of RW 10 East Cilendek, created bio-pore holes in areas that are often flooded with water. These bio-pore holes are made to speed up water infiltration into the ground so that rainwater does not directly enter the drains in the East Cilendek Village area.
<<IPB University Students Help Society with Biopori Infiltration Holes>>
IPB University actively supports water conservation off campus through various activities. For example, in collaboration with the Provincial Government of Jakarta, the Environment Research Center (PPLH) at IPB provides alternative water management in Jakarta province. PPLH IPB University also monitored a number of reservoirs in DKI Jakarta that are prioritized for water management. As a result of this monitoring, the team was able to identify the types of pollutant sources that might enter the water bodies, visually observe the condition of the water bodies, and pinpoint the areas where waste is generated that could potentially end up polluting the aquatic environment.
